For best loading results, proceed as follows:
• Add the required amount of stone into the drum.
• Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
• Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
• Pour the required amount of water into the drum.
Note:
When measuring out cement and ballast (or sharp sand/gravel),
use a small bucket to ensure accurate ratios of cement: ballast. Refer
to the instructions that come with your cement.
Ensure your chosen quantity of concrete is large enough that the
cement mixer will function and small enough that it will fit in the
drum, see load sizes in specifications section of manual to calculate
quantities.
• When the mixture is the right consistency to use, empty the drum.
Pour the mixed cement by releasing the tipping handle and rotating
the drum to the empty position while the machine is running. Be sure
to pour the mix slowly and smoothly to avoid tilting the cement mixer.
• When the drum is empty, turn the cement mixer off.
• Never put any of your body parts (including hands) inside the drum while it is
rotating.
• Wipe off any external material on the motor cover. Do not use petrol,
turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.
• The use of chemical products or solvents may damage the motor cover.
• Thoroughly clean your cement mixer at the end of each days operation.
• Keep your cement mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the drum
assembly will harden and attract more material each time the machine is used.
• Dried cement should be scraped out of the drum assembly.
• DO NOT throw bricks into the drum assembly to clean it out.
• DO NOT beat on the drum with a shovel, hammer or other tools to break up
accumulation of dried cement mix as the cement mixer may be damaged.
• The drum may be scoured for approximately 2 minutes, using a 1” stone and
water mixture. After this, discharge the stone/water mixture and hose down the
drum assembly inside and out.
• The IP44 protection clad construction of the mixer enables the DRUM
ASSEMBLY ONLY to be hosed down safely. Avoid getting water on the motor
and motor housing, DO NOT wet the motor and motor housing.
General Maintenance
• Ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. No further lubrication of
bearings is required.
• During normal use, painted surfaces can lose their coating during the mixing
process. Wipe all exposed surfaces regularly with an oily rag to prevent
corrosion. (Note: Loss of paint and rust are not covered under warranty.)
• Keep air vents clean of dust and dirt.
• Remove dust and dirt from the cement mixer regularly with soft cloth, brush or
compressed air. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean plastic parts.
• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an electrician or a power tool
repairer.
•
Regularly check that all bolts, screws and nuts are securely fixed as these
could work loose during normal operation.
• Do not open the motor cover under any circumstances.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS START THE CEMENT MIXER
BEFORE LOADING THE DRUM. LOAD THE DRUM WHILE
IT IS ROTATING.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT TURN THE MIXER OFF WHILE IT’S
FULL OF MATERIAL. EMPTY THE DRUM WITH THE DRUM
ROTATING.
IMPORTANT!
ENSURE MATERIAL IS NOT LOADED INTO
THE MIXER ALL AT ONCE. ADD THE MATERIAL STEADILY
OVER THE MIXING BLADES, THIS HELPS TO AVOID
THE MATERIAL FROM STICKING TO THE BACK OF THE
DRUM.
WARNING!
1. DO NOT LET THE SHOVEL MOUTH OR ANY OTHER DEVICES
ENTER THE DRUM MOUTH DURING LOADING.
2. NEVER PLACE HANDS INSIDE THE REVOLVING DRUM OR
NEAR ANY ROTATING PARTS.
3. PLACE THE CEMENT MIXER AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE
WORK SITE. DO NOT MOVE THE CEMENT MIXER WHEN LOADED.
4. RETIGHTEN ALL BOLTS ATTACHING MOTOR AND MOTOR
HOUSING ASSEMBLY, DRUM ASSEMBLY AND FRAME ASSEMBLY
AFTER FIRST MIX.
8. LOADING THE DRUM
